Newest developments and trends in the market like digitalisation and sustainability are also covered in this part, but will be addressed in many other parts of the course.
The operational part describes the catering area with its departments like restaurants or kitchen, the accommodation area with its departments like front office, reservation, etc., as well as the area of minor operating departments like spa or similar. Mainly this last area will be demonstrated with the help of an example hotel.
In the third– with focus on a collegiate education – most voluminous part the management departments and tasks of a hotel will be portrayed. This goes from distribution (sales, marketing, revenue management) via personnel and financial accounting management to investment planning and feasibility studies to a final strategic orientation of an enterprise.
